Postcard #12 • Faroe Islands

(FAROE ISLANDS)- Faroe Islands is an archipielago and autonomus country within the Kingdom of Denmark, located in between the Norwegian Sea and North Atlantic Ocean. The closest countries are Norway, Scotland and Iceland. There are just about 50,000 people living there, who speaks their own language, the Faroese. It is hard to find swappers/postcrossers from that far away country, but my friend Som, from India, who is a philatelic (stamps collector), he bought some stuff from Faroe Island Postal Service and also paid a postcard and asked them to send it to me and voilá. This postcard shows a rockhill within the shore. It is postmarked and has two beautiful and lovely stamps displaying silvester cats from Faroe Island... (Kitty lover here!). Thank you very much Som!
